Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctor denies referrals with no reason given
One of the few doctors in the insurance coverage and denied referral for muscular Dystrophy patient with no reason given. Since when does a doctor deny a patient human dencies when they are in constant pain from a life long battle with muscular Dystrophy.

Muscular Dystrophy – Mar 01, 2024

If you try to use him don't say you weren't warned
At first Hodges seemed willing to help, but over time he reduced my pain medication 3 times with no concern for how it affected me - he claimed he was required to reduce the medication due to "government regulations"- but never asked if he I needed additional assistance. He NEVER spent more than 2 minutes with me during quarterly visits, never asked how I was managing the pain - his favorite closing remarks were "we'll keep you going" - all the while, my pain got worse, and he could care less !! On my last visit on March 31, 2022, he was not there (he was never there at least 30 % of the time) - I was required to see his new "Physician Assistance" who left me waiting alone in an examination cubical for 1 WHOLE HOUR - neither the PA nor his 2 nurses bothered to check on me! When I complained to the nurses, one simply ignored me the other smirked as if to say "so what." After I told the PA what medicines I was on she still got the new prescription wrong - Good Luck!

Dr Hodges is a terrible Dr. But his PA, Mr. Bill is great. If there was a way to only see his PA I would recommend going, but unfortunately Hodges ruins the business. He talks down to everyone and views every patient as a drug seeker. Definitely in the wrong line of work. Save yourself the trouble.
